Hi'Ya
Well we are now into our 10 day countdown,befor we fly out to Melbourne and still so much to do,our dogs fly out the day befor we do and we are still waiting for confirmed test results for them,to come back from the labs
.
Anyway we did a car boot sale at the weekend and sold a fair bit of stuff,we also took photo's of the white goods and furniture that we needed to sell and placed then on a big notice board so that people could see them,we sold all 2/3 of our bedroom furniture and sold all three white goods items ( weasher,dryer,dishwasher),people took flyers and phone no: and we did the bizz
.
Our Boxes are awaiting loading at the docks ( we packed ourselfs) we used a self packing company (saved £0000's)who provide you with all the boxes,paper,tape etc,and then they come and collect it when you are done,do the inport paper work and send it on it's way right up to your new address if you so wish.
Well thats about it for now,hope to meet up with ex-pats in and around Melbourne soon as we have settled in and got on internet when there.
PS
We are going on a 121 sponser visa and did all our own paper work,forms etc,no agents.
It is hard but worth while doing it,it only taken us from posting our form off to getting the YES answer back 8 months,includes all stages (TRA,sponser forms,police checks.med forms) Thats just our case.
Good luck to everyone and don't give up..
